Welcome to Halden


Imagine a town where you can stroll through cobblestone streets, visit Norway's most significant fortress, explore Europe's highest lock system, and experience the country's oldest baroque theatre. Now imagine that in this same town, you can discover unique shops, cozy cafés, delightful restaurants, and charming hotels. You can also feel the pulse of the city's vibrant nightlife, attend exciting events, swim at sandy beaches, or walk across Europe's longest suspension bridge. Or how about peaceful days in nature, staying in forest cabins or treetop huts, fishing in tranquil waters, and hiking through deep forests?

All this is found in one place.

WELCOME TO HALDEN!
